My friend Jane is into fitness. Seriously into fitness. She is a personal trainer by profession, so fitness is her life. What else was there to put on her 50th birthday card but dumbbells, medicine balls and weights of all shapes and sizes?
Jane's husband sent me a collection of photos of his wife in action. I picked out a photo of her lifting weights and recreated it for her birthday card, adding some of the equipment she uses around her.
Though I really tried, this card doesn't do her justice. She looks amazing at 50!
I wanted to make Jane a birthday card as well, but didn't want it to be too similar to the special card her husband had requested. I made a papercut card for her instead, cutting her name and age by hand from white stock, and then lining it with a bright orange paper inlay.
